where we work hard, play too, and love like crazy

Mama’s gotta share pictures, you know?

Words I whisper to my baby when she wakes up, when she cries, when she smiles at me, as she’s learning about this great big world. I hope these words I’m speaking into her ears reach her heart. I hope she carries the truth of them always. I hope she knows that my words are a reflection of God’s perfect love for her.

Isn’t this what we all crave? For somebody to see us, truly, to our very soul, and call us beautiful? To love us? He does, you know. Before we even knew Him, God called us beautiful. He fashioned us carefully and tenderly while we were yet unborn, and stamped His image upon us. Nothing else on earth can claim this beauty that is ours alone.

About patchofheaven

"Mom" sums it up quite well! I cook, I clean, I homeschool, and yes, I do still ride a tricycle. I love to read books to my kids, and every once in a while I manage to read a book "all by my big self." I journal about my life, here at patchofheaven; hoping to remember, grow, love more, and entertain my mom and other readers!

I absolutely love the way you consistently make time to have beautiful photos taken of each of your children, of your tummy before they’re each born, of your whole family as it grows… It’s completely wonderful, and I’m so proud of you – and jealous of you having good photographers nearby! 🙂

Welcome!

I'm Ruth, the mom that lives here. "Our little patch of heaven" is a home we built with our bare hands, on an acre of land in the country. Our six kids are what truly make it heaven! We love each other, we love God, and we love our messy, noisy life. Most of the stories you find here will be about our adventures as a family, the wild and sweet children I call mine, and my attempt to be the best wife and mom I can be.
